    Is there a way i could hide or restrict the ability of users to modify the “Category” info? Basically I’d like them to be able to edit their demographic info but not the category,

    With Connections 0.8.x, yes this can be done.

    I’ve attached a Snippet that does this. How to use…

    Install the Code Snippets plugin.
    Download and unzip the file attached to this reply.
    Import the code snippet XML file, search.code-snippets.xml, into Code Snippets. See the FAQs on where to find the import feature.
    Activate the newly imported snippet.

    This snippet will remove the category metabox on the on the Link profile admin page.

    That did the trick, thank you very much!

    I should have been smart enough to put this in my original request but I’d like to be able to do the same thing for the “Publish” settings box as well (“Public”, “Private, “Unlisted”) Any chance I could get another snippet?

    Meanwhile, as a future enhancement request, it would be nice to include this in a config page for Link. It would also be nice to be able to change the default setting for new members from “Unlisted” to “Public” or “Private”.

    Sorry, but there is not a way to remove the visibility options. I’ll add this to my feature request list to see what I can come up with.

    Setting the default can be done with a snippet, attached. However, there seems to be a bug in Connections that prevents it from working. You can install and activate, when I release the next bug fix for Connections, it should work fine.
